Reality Show Profile: I Love New York

By Latoya West, About.com

Name of Show: I Love New York
Network: Vh1
Premise: Twenty bachelors live together as they compete to win the heart of outrageous ex-Flavor of Love contestant Tiffany "New York" Pollard. The men must complete challenges each week, and New York must eliminate the least desirable contestants until only one remains. Throughout the competition, New York gets advice from her outspoken mother, Sister Patterson.
Show History: We first met Tiffany "New York" Pollard when she competed on the first season of Vh1's Flavor of Love. Her outrageous behavior on the dating show made her the season's most-talked-about contestant. After she was rejected by the show's star Flavor Flav, Vh1 brought her back for the second season of the show -- but she was rejected again!

So the network gave New York her own show, on which guys would vie for her affections. But when the winner dumped her on the season's reunion show, Vh1 went ahead with a second season of the show. She selected the contestant she nicknamed Tailor Made.

I Love New York Facts:
  • The show set VH1 ratings records. 4.8 million people tuned in for the first season finale.
  • New York is engaged to season two's winner.
  • Vh1 says there will not be another season of I Love New York.
